Any sacrifice performed without regard for the directions of scripture, without distribution of prasādam [spiritual food], without chanting of Vedic hymns and remunerations to the priests, and without faith is considered to be in the mode of ignorance.
Krishna, himself in the above verse asserts the importance of Prasadam distribution (annadānaṃ). Lord Chaitanya (Lord Krishna took the form of a devotee in Kali Yuga) introduced along with the chanting of the Hare Krsna mahamantra, the preparation, offering and honoring of Krsna Prasadam as part of the process of Krsna Consciousness.
Prasādam distribution is especially important because it is the mercy of Krishna. It satisfies the hunger of both body and soul and nourishes the soul, sowing the seed of Krishna Consciousness.
It is mentioned in the Garga Samhita that one who distributes food in charity becomes free from the three kinds of debts and goes to the transcendental abode of Lord Vishnu. In the Varaha Purana, Srivaraha says, “One who gives food, gives all that is worth giving in this world”. Lord Krishna says in the Bhavishya Purana, “The world, both animate and inanimate, is sustained by food. The giver of food is the giver of life and indeed of everything else. Therefore one who is desirous of well-being in this world and beyond should make special endeavors to give food.”
Prabhupada says:
It was a very nice system that nobody should remain hungry. That is the system. If there is any temple in any neighborhood, in that neighborhood nobody should remain hungry. The Vedic system is that in your house, a householder shall see that even a lizard in the house is not hungry.
(Conversation with Dai Nippon — April 22, 1972, Tokyo)
